Answer: 126 and 128

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem have two consecutive even integers whose sum is 254.

Consecutive even integers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ <em>first even integer</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>second even integer</em>

<em />

Since the sum of these is 254, our equation reads X + X + 2 = 254.

We can simplify on the left side of the equation to get 2x + 2 = 254.

Now, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to get 2x = 252.

Lastly, we will divide both sides of the equation by 2 in order to isolate <em>x</em>. On the left side, the 2's cancel out and on the right, 252 divided by 2 is 126.

If our first integer is 126, our next consecutive even integer will be 126 + 128 which simplifies to 254.

Therefore, our two consecutive even integers are 126 and 128.

Sindrei [870]
Each box would be sold for $3.50 because 702 divided by 18 is 39, so he would have 39 boxes. $136.50 divided by 39 is $3.50.

I am having trouble doing this problem ​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. when you multiply exponents with a common base you keep the base and add the exponents. In this case you would keep the 6 and add the -5 and 2 so the answer would be:

6^-3 which is not equivalent

B. You can distribute the exponent in to the parenthesis.

(1^5)/(6^2)^5

when you have an exponent to an exponent you mutliply. so the answer would be:

1^5/6^10

1^5 is always going to be 1 so you actually have:

1/6^10

when the exponent is on the bottom you can bring it to the top by making it negative, so the final answer for B is:

6^-10 which is equivalent

C. Same rules as B, multiply an exponent to an exponent.

6^(-5*2) = 6^-10 which is equivalent

D. When you are dividing exponents with a common base you subtract the top and bottom exponents. So in this case you have:

6^(-3-7) = 6^-10 which is equivalent

E. Using the rules from eariler the numerator can be simplified by adding the exponents.

6^5 * 6^-3 = 6^(5-3) = 6^2

which leaves you with:

6^2/6^-8

From there you can either bring the 6^-8 to the numberator to make it positive which simplifies to:

6^2 * 6^8 = 6^(2+8) = 6^10 which is not equivalent

or you can subtract the top and bottom exponents:

6^2/6^-8 = 6^(2-(-8))

the double negative cancels to a positive and you getL

6^(2+8) = 6^10 which is not equivalent

so B, C, and D are equal to 6^-10
